On May 24 move crews
On May 24 move crews at NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans moved the engine section for NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket to final assembly to be joined with the rest of the core stage for Artemis II.
The engine section is the last major component to be horizontally integrated with the previously joined forward assembly and liquid hydrogen tank to complete the core stage; and includes the rocket’s main propulsion systems that connect to the core stage’s four RS-25 engines.
The 212-foot core stage with its RS-25 engines will provide more than 2 million pounds of thrust to help launch the Artemis II astronauts. With the Artemis program, NASA will land the first woman and the first person of color on the Moon and establish long-term exploration in preparation for missions to Mars. SLS and NASA’s Orion spacecraft, along with the commercial human landing system and the Gateway in orbit around the Moon, are NASA’s backbone for deep space exploration. SLS is the only rocket that can send Orion, astronauts, and supplies to the Moon in a single mission. (NASA)
